When everyone else is asleep,
only you are here to listen to what i am saying,
softly, secretly, from my heart to your heart.

Hi dear muimui, we meet again here. What happened these few days ? Korkor 1 came home, must have felt very excited and glad to see him again, I suppose ? So by now he might be on the way leaving home again. Do you miss him ? I am sure you do. Did he bring you anything ?

One of the issue that bother not only korkor but also the surrounding people is, you know, we cannot spend a single cent on you, even when we insist to. Do you think that everything we wish to have for you is redundant ? Or those who wish to get you something are really silly ? That had they not been so silly, would not have wished to get for you ? Why look down to the others ?

Haha, but korkor know all these are NOT the real reason. Muimui do not want, because you think that nothing should be accepted when there's no contribution. You told me of this. But why ? It is for sure, when guys or girls hang out, you will need money somewhere. Unless you just want to melepak for the whole day looking at the others shopping around.

Seems like muimui like to spend own money. Korkor cannot prevent muimui from doing that. However, there are sometimes, when it is only wise for korkor to pay for something, cause in reciprocal, muimui is paying for something else too. From my opinion, since everyone pays for something, it has been even out. Therefore, we do not have to be over sensitive to the sum of the amount everyone has paid then divide by the amount of the people to get the exact amount each of us should pay. It does not bother me. We are not those who are very calculative. At least not korkor, not muimui.

Korkor is not telling muimui do not be accurate over money. We have to. Korkor still remember there was once, should be the second time korkor went to muimui's home, when we were about to leave, mama told korkor 1 to pay a small sum to the crazy talktative aunty Ah-Ni who have a very pretty daughter. Mama said it was because the aunty helped to buy something earlier. And mama said, when it comes to money, we have to be accurate.

Until today korkor still do not understand why at that particular time mama suddenly said that to korkor. Others such as you all and Daniel were just watching. It was clear that mama was saying that to me. Maybe she thought korkor have overspent on girls, which of course I did not, do not, and will not.

Precisely, this is the way we should be when it comes to money. When we are dealing with outsiders, we must be clear on everything, so to avoid any mistake or misunderstanding. However, among ourselves, it is only alright that we buy you something and not demanding you to pay me back. Had I done that, muimui would have said korkor as very stingy and mean. Anyway, muimui you may deny this.

So this is the first point. You don't give strangers and kakilang the same treatment. This is the same everywhere. You don't have to pay when you are enrolled in national primary or secondary. You are charged a minimal fee when you go to national universities, good, or public hospitals, touchwood. However, if some aliens, let's say Indonesians, Japanese or Americans come to these national facilities, do you think they are charged similarly ? No way. They never pay tax to the government of this country, so when they try to enjoy the facilities here, they pay much higher. So korkor am not being berat sebelah. Korkor buy muimui things, but never buy for others, cause they are not korkor's muimui.



Korkor still remember there was a time when korkor and some others were going to a church in Bukit Merah some time ago. Korkor was never told the name of its church. They are part of the group that called themselves Local churches, calling themselves as Church at Kuala Lumpur, Church at Seremban, that do not align itself to any of the major denominations, such as Roman Catholic, or Protestants such as Methodist, Anglican, Lutheran, or Sunday Adventist.

A friend of mine also once asked korkor to go to their church in Seremban. From the way they carried out their service, korkor was very sure they are the same. And when it ended, some adults asked which church I usually go in Singapore, I said, of course, our Roman Catholic cathedral, but, I also said I went to their member church before. Ask where their base in Singapore is situated, Bukit Merah, yes. They even said they could send some guys to contact me, and reluctantly I gave them my phone and address, but fortunately no one disturbs me later.

Unlike we Roman Catholic that do not need to have Holy Bible in the Sunday mass, they do. So almost everyone has his or her own Holy Bible. Korkor and another girl, Esther, was first time going to that place. Together with us were Chian and Steven who had been attending for a few times. One day, some girls there, also from NUS, gave Esther a very thick Holy Bible. Wow ! That's impressive. It worths around $ 70 or 80 if I have to buy one for myself. But why they never give me ? Why only Esther ?

On the way home, I was like jokingly asked Chian about this. You know what he said ? "You are a guy, you cannot expect to get everything free."

So this is the second point. Hope muimui like the entry korkor post today. Have a nice day, and think about it when you are free. Mama always say muimui will have to sit for a test by end of September, so, study hard. And fight for honour.

korkor knew that muimui hav alreadi signed in to be a member finally. so, do u noe where to post your entry ?

first, u go to blogger homepage, then sign in the bar at the right hand side, then they will show u all the blogs that muimui can join. there should be at least two, our music love story and mango juice. maybe muimui hav others, those set up by other frens or classmates. then u choose which one u wanna go to. after u click on a particular blog's name, they will bring u to the editting page of that blog.

the editting page is further divided into 2 parts. upper part is where u type ur new messages. lower part is a preview of what u alreadi have in the blog. u can choose any entry that u hav alreadi posted from the lower box, click edit, and it will appear at the upper part for u to change anything, or delete it.

after u write something new or edit something, u gotta click on either the Post or Post & Publish buttons on the right hand top. post means u send in the new message or the editted messaged, and it will appear at the preview area. but it wont appear in the blog homepage at http://mangojuice.blogspot.com until u publish it. publish is at the right of the central black bar. therefore, post & publish is actually a 2 in 1 button to save ur time.

u can also put in some special functions, such as bold (B), italic (I), or add a hyperlink to a particular word. u can also add picture or do any other html command.

if u are writing a message with more than one paragraph, remember to put p in the < xxx > at the beginning of a new para, take away the xxx in it, to mark it as a new para, otherwise all paras will merge together and it will be very messy. another advantage of using the p command is that it can justify itself.

to show an image, such as those hikaru cartoons, what u need to do is :

u put the following codes in a < xxx > sharp brackets, replacing the xxx ...

img src=" http://www.server.com / folder / image.jpg "

http://www.server.com / folder / image.jpg being the exact address where the picture is located. we do this to link the picture from its current place into our homepage.

that's it, simple yet interesting !



Wow, finally, our new blog looks like how it was supposed to be. tidy, clean and in sharp contrast. this new template was initially set to hav very dark colors, but korkor changed the background to this kitty paws background, and the bars to hav the 3 colors we used to have in the old mangojuice. do muimui like this layout ? it took korkor around 4 hour to change the color, font size, alignment, and put up the links, chatterbox and web counter. anyway, it still needs lotsa improvement. eventhough there's only 2 of us in this world are reading it, we shall still make it the prettiest. so tell korkor if muimui hav any suggestion k.

Hello, how issit ?

So first, it is the mutual respect between korkor and muimui. Respect means you do what you can do, and don't do what you can't do, and always abide the values and virtues one supposed to have, for the peaceful living of both. However, from what korkor can think of now, there's nothing that muimui cannot do with / do to korkor. Korkor is confident that this muimui is a very decent one, that won't make much trouble for korkor. So, korkor also have to do the same, not to upset muimui at all.

Therefore, we come to trust and confidence between korkor and muimui. Do you really think muimui do not trust korkor ? As the korkor, I don't think so. Muimui have no reason to do so. Yes, there seems to be a lot of times, when muimui did not believe what korkor said. However, that might be due to the lack of understanding muimui have in korkor, that sometimes when korkor do something nice in the faith of muimui, muimui do not know, or cannot appreciate it, yet. This is to fade away over time, when muimui and korkor know more and more about each other, you agree with me ?

How do you think that we can enhance the trust between korkor and muimui ? In korkor's opinion, it means that we believe in each other doing something because of their good faith in making things right. As we agreed earlier, the korkor - muimui relationship here is not about to envy or be jelouse about each other. We wish for the best for each other, so we know, in our conscience, that we will not ever do anything harmful to each other, right ? We don't have a reason to. Everything we do, we do it only if we know this will bring happiness to the others. Korkor think, in fact, muimui understand all these.

Korkor can't write too much, or else muimui will say korkor is making muimui pengsan then. But korkor wish to hear from muimui, regarding anything, can be feedbacks on the stuff korkor raised just now, can be something else about life or friendships, etc etc.....

That's it for today, do come back often to find out updates okay ? Bye bye my dear muimui =)

Okay we shall start. But where shall we start with ? There are a lot of issues where muimui do not fully understand what korkor's stands on them are. For example, the relationship with WanSin that recently ceased messily, being mama's cute cute 2nd little boy, being muimui's korkor, and also, something that interested muimui a lot, what is it if it is not the physical relationship between guys and girls ?

But first comes first. It is undeniable that had it not because of WanSin, korkor wouldn't have such an urge to have a muimui so out of sudden. Right. There are, however, differences between a wiffy and a muimui. They both are females, they both are someone that requires one to treat them nicely. But the similarities end here. Wiffy is someone that, if get married with successfully, gotta take good care of, and give support to, for the whole life. Not to mention that a hubby can make love with his wiffy. And all these are two way relationships. That means, no one is just giving, no one is just taking. In order to make the relationship a success, both hubby and wiffy gotta give and take. Sometimes you can demand for more, but sometimes you have to compromise, too.

However, when it comes to muimui, of course, korkor must also be very kind, gentle and nice to a muimui, or in this case, the muimui. However, one cannot treat a muimui as treating a wiffy. They play different roles, and bear different responsibilities. Korkor must take care of every dimention of muimui's life, be it academic, family or emotional. I am not saying that since korkor is older than muimui, korkor must order muimui to do this and that, and muimui must always follow.

No. As I said, a relationship is always a two way traffic. And when you happened to have a democratic and liberal korkor like this, you can have a say in everything that you concern about. Korkor must listen to muimui's opinion, and when it is the better alternative, follow it, for sure. Even sometimes when muimui's suggestion sound not much rational, korkor still have to implement it, in order to avoid argument between korkor and muimui, or unhappiness and unsatisfactory in the part of muimui. Seems to be incorrect, but this is what they called it politically correct. And this is for the benefit of both.

Korkor added some links at the left hand side column, hope muimui will like their appearances here. Just tell korkor if muimui wish to have any other links here, or how should this blog page be decorated, okay =)

Muimui said muimui like the picture in the first post very much. Wow. what a compliment. Korkor looked thru the Hikaru no Go fansite to search for something that is heartening, and this was it. Hikaru was like merenung something, looking at the sky. Sai was playing his flute. They sat back to back on a tree full of sakura (cherry blossoms). Its such a beautiful scene. Innocent, pure, happy and relaxed. Something that can reflect the korkor-muimui relationship that we enjoy now. Hope nothing could ever change it.
